Opening the Second Dimension with the FGO Method

But Akame herself chose to ask Koizumi, which means Akame really doesn't know if she knows him or not.

Only... Akame is very curious as to why she cares so much about Koizumi before her.

If she didn't know him, then why would she care so much about him? That's what Akame thinks.

So, Akame feels it's necessary to seriously ask Koizumi this question, otherwise, she won't be able to sleep.

Koizumi was slightly stunned, his eyes fixed on Akame before him, a look of doubt flashing in them.

Why would Akame ask this question... Come to think of it, Leone seemed to have said something similar to Akame before.

"So, Akame, you really know this young man?"

But at that time, Akame also responded directly to Leone's words.

"I don't know him... It's the first time I've met him."

But why does Akame still ask such a question at this time?

With doubts in his heart, Koizumi slowly answered Akame's words.

"This is the first time we've met, I can be sure of that..."

He can certainly be sure, after all, it's the first time Koizumi has come to this Singularities. If it were a familiar Singularities, then without a doubt, he would be very clear about every place and Teigu in this Singularities. But it's the first time he's ever heard the term Teigu, or the Empire, or the Revolutionary Army.

That's why Koizumi can be sure that it's definitely the first time he's come to this Singularities.

Only the people are familiar, but he's not familiar with anything else... Koizumi also finds this strange, but there's no doubt that it's the first time he's come to this Singularities.

"I see..." Akame seemed very disappointed, her tone rather low.

But after shaking her head slightly, Akame seemed to let go of everything, and then slowly stepped forward.

A delicate right hand slowly extended, and Akame gave a faint smile, to show her friendliness.

"That was just an introduction, now here, welcome to the team, I'm Akame. If you need help, you can always come to me or the others from Night Raid, everyone is very friendly to newcomers."

Night Raid is like a family. No matter who joins, they are family to everyone else, so Akame said this.

Although a little surprised, Koizumi quickly recovered, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

This may be the feeling of home... Although it was just a sentence, Koizumi still felt warmth in his heart.

"I understand. If possible, you can also come to me, Reimu, or Hata no Kokoro for help."

Koizumi doesn't like owing favors, although there are factors in this regard, more of it is the influence of Night Raid's atmosphere itself.

Chapter 79 Helping with Training

"..." Koizumi is facing Serenity Hassan and Hundred Personas Hassan, and doesn't know what to say.

In fact, he wanted to ask Serenity Hassan and Hundred Personas Hassan for help, hoping they could train him.

Hundred Personas Hassan and Serenity Hassan are both leaders of the assassination order, just in a former and current relationship, so Koizumi still hopes to get their training, so that he can have a certain response plan when facing assassins.

But, for some reason, when he came before them, Koizumi didn't know what to say.

He should have opened his mouth to ask directly, but Koizumi suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Excuse me, is there anything you need from us?" Serenity's eyes were fixed on Koizumi, her tone with a hint of excitement.

Perhaps Hundred Personas didn't notice, but Koizumi, who can perceive the emotions of others, felt it.

Come to think of it, Serenity seems to have started to treat him differently since he ignored her poison.

But, why did she treat him so specially after he ignored her poison?

Koizumi really can't figure out this question, but now is not the time to think about this question, so...

"It's like this, can you help me train?" A strong look of sincerity appeared on Koizumi's face.

Although Hundred Personas Hassan and Serenity Hassan were once his enemies, there is no doubt that they are still very easy to get along with.

Their assassination skills are still very superb, at least Koizumi almost died in Serenity's hands because of carelessness.

So if possible, Koizumi hopes to practice with Hundred Personas Hassan and Serenity Hassan, so that he can also improve his strength. As for why not look for other Night Raid members, it's because compared to assassination, their ability to fight head-on is stronger, and assassination is relatively weaker than head-on combat.

So, which idiot would let a group of people with general-level combat power and potential be assassins! It would be much better to keep them on the battlefield than to be assassins in Night Raid!

Koizumi completely couldn't understand the Revolutionary Army leader's thoughts. Akame and Bulat are such powerful combat forces that they are willing to let them be assassins, especially Bulat. Koizumi has heard that he has the title of "Hundred-Man Slayer" and was also a former Imperial general.

Since he used to be a general in the Empire, but he ran to the Revolutionary Army and became an assassin, that's not how you change jobs.

Or do they think that a dignified empire will be overthrown by a group of assassins? Then this empire couldn't have existed for so long. After all, in addition to the Empire and the Revolutionary Army, there are also alien races and other countries!

So Koizumi thinks the Revolutionary Army leader's head was kicked by a donkey.

"Training?" Hundred Personas Hassan was slightly stunned. Koizumi is stronger than herself and Serenity, but he wants them to help him train?

However, who says that just because you are stronger than them, you can't ask them for help with training? You need to know that everyone has different strengths!

Serenity was also slightly stunned, but then she was excited, her eyes flashing with a strong surprise.

As for why she is so surprised, this can only be continued later. Now the most important thing is training.

"It's not that those with weak strength are not qualified to teach those with strong strength. Everyone's combat power will have different manifestations in different situations. In assassination, your strength is above mine, just like when I was attacked by Serenity before."

Koizumi glanced at Hundred Personas and Serenity, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Besides, as Servants who have been summoned, you must have many questions you want to ask me, the Master who suddenly appeared in this world, right? It seems I'm the only Master in this world, right? Don't you have any doubts?"

Hundred Personas and Serenity fell silent. Indeed, they couldn't deny they had many doubts about Koizumi.

Why would a Master appear in a place with no Masters? They had no idea.

So, regarding the Koizumi before them, Hundred Personas and Serenity had been looking for an opportunity to ask, but none had presented itself.

Now, Koizumi had come to them, asking if they could help him train, and even saying they could take the opportunity to ask him questions about himself. If they didn't ask now, they might not get another chance.

Hundred Personas and Serenity exchanged glances and nodded. Indeed, this was an opportunity.

After all, they would be working together in the same organization from now on, and it would be very troublesome if they couldn't unite and harbored doubts.

Both Hundred Personas and Serenity were leaders of assassination orders, and they were very clear on how to resolve such internal problems within an organization.

"In that case, please guide us, and we hope you can resolve the doubts in our hearts."

Serenity adopted a very humble posture, which only deepened Koizumi's suspicions. Serenity's attitude was indeed strange.

Even respect for the strong didn't require such exaggeration. This attitude was a bit too much.

At least Koizumi felt that Serenity's attitude was a bit off. It seemed he needed to pay more attention.

But for now, training was more important. He should deal with the training first.

After all, he needed to have some ability to deal with assassins. Without that ability, it would be really...

He didn't want to carelessly die again. The more tools he had at his disposal when facing assassins, the better.

After that, Koizumi occupied their time. Anyway, there were no missions recently, so it was a good opportunity.

Koizumi, Serenity, and Hundred Personas used this time to get to know each other better. After all, they were all part of the same organization.

Understanding through words alone wasn't enough, so they needed time to build rapport and understand each other's personalities. After all, relying on others to describe someone was only indirect understanding.

It had to be admitted that Hundred Personas and Serenity coordinated very well. They were worthy of being Hassan-i-Sabbah.

They were from the same order, although they weren't leaders from the same era, they were very familiar with each other's abilities.

Knowing each other's abilities meant knowing each other's strengths, and then they could cooperate with each other.

Koizumi, Reimu, and Hata no Kokoro could also do this, but compared to Hundred Personas and Serenity, the rapport between Koizumi and the others wasn't as strong. After all, the three of them had very similar strengths, and they hadn't spent as much time together, so their rapport hadn't fully developed.

To surpass those two, it would probably take a little more effort.

Chapter 80: Serenity's Anomaly

"This is really troublesome... Truly worthy of being Assassins!"

Koizumi's speed was exceptionally fast, flying at low altitude, dodging one short sword after another.

Hundred Personas and Serenity weren't holding back at all, because Koizumi couldn't be killed by their poisons.

Due to their ability to conceal their presence, the Assassins' presence was faint and elusive. Koizumi could sense their presence at the moment of attack, but after the attack ended, their presence disappeared again, as if their killing intent only lasted for a moment.

Koizumi also felt very annoyed by this situation, especially Hundred Personas Hassan, who was very troublesome.

Serenity's moves were very simple, basically short swords and the poison on her body, but when faced with a situation where poison was useless, Serenity was basically done for. After all, [Poison] was her strongest weapon, and her only weapon.

When this only weapon was ineffective, Serenity had no killing power against the enemy.

But Hundred Personas was different. Hundred Personas Hassan possessed 32 specialized abilities such as specialized techniques, tactics, academics, concealment techniques, assassination techniques, deception, and languages, and each clone possessed the same abilities, making them exceptionally troublesome.

Hundred Personas wasn't afraid of ganging up at all... and using that as a means to conceal Serenity, allowing Serenity to ambush from the shadows.

He had fallen for this tactic before, but he had indeed noticed Serenity, but still fell for it.

At this moment, Koizumi held [Gungnir] in his hand, and a pair of blood-red wings appeared on his back, flying at low altitude.

The magic power attached to the short swords wasn't that strong. Koizumi only needed to dodge slightly to avoid them, or even just use the magic power in his body to disturb the surrounding airflow, and then the trajectory of the short swords would be deflected.

So as long as he made a few small moves, there would be no problem at all. Koizumi wasn't afraid of these.

It was just that the various tactics used by Hundred Personas caused Koizumi to suffer a lot. Serenity wasn't much of a problem in comparison.

Even so, Koizumi continued to have Hundred Personas and Serenity help him train. What he wanted was to be able to easily pass through various tactics, and to be able to use corresponding tactics to defeat the other party when they used corresponding tactics. This was what made a qualified warrior, and this would completely eliminate the need for Reimu and the others to worry about him.

Koizumi wanted to be able to partner with any Servant without being a burden to anyone, and even to be able to bear the power of more people, becoming the main force in resolving Singularities. Who said Masters couldn't rival Servants?

Koizumi believed that as he continued to summon other Servants, the power within him would become stronger and stronger.

Moreover, he had now faintly grasped Yukari's power, but he was still unable to use it.

After all, Yukari's power was too profound and unpredictable. Koizumi couldn't use it at all, and couldn't even find the principle of mastering it.

If Koizumi had mastered Yukari's power long ago, then he wouldn't have to worry about any accidents.

While Yukari's power was profound and unpredictable, the power of the Gap was very useful. With enough power, one could use a Gap to see the whole world. Then what was the need for intelligence? Just peek wherever there was a problem.

What... peeking was immoral... it was a low-down trick? Can someone with the ability to peek be called low-down for peeking? This was clearly the proper use of one's abilities. Being immoral and low-down was completely the moaning of the weak.

However, Koizumi currently possessed relatively little power. He hadn't even mastered one-tenth of Hata no Kokoro and Reimu's power, and he hadn't mastered all of Remilia's power, only a part of it. He should have about half of it.

Hundred Personas and Serenity Hassan trained Koizumi until the evening, and they didn't even eat dinner. Reimu and Hata no Kokoro, on the other hand, were idle. The former would occasionally make talismans, and would become idle when she didn't want to make them. The latter was making masks to sell to Najenda and the others. Seeing Hata no Kokoro working so hard, Najenda and the others couldn't directly refuse.

After all, Hata no Kokoro was indeed very cute in that state, and it was difficult for ordinary people to refuse Hata no Kokoro.

Hata no Kokoro sold a lot of Noh Masks in [Night Raid]. Mine and the others hung the Noh Masks on the wall, although it seemed they didn't intend to wear them on their faces at all. However, Mine and the others didn't refuse Hata no Kokoro, and it was clear that they all regarded Hata no Kokoro as one of their own.

Night Raid truly felt like home, and even Koizumi couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth.

After Koizumi and Serenity finished their training, they returned to the kitchen to find that the food was still warm.

It was the first time they had all sat together in the kitchen like this, but even so, Koizumi felt a deep sense of belonging.

He had never properly shared a meal with so many people before.

And Susanoo's cooking was indeed delicious. Speaking of which, it was quite something that a Teigu was being used for everyday life... Why did it have to be so good at cooking? It was practically stealing the job of a chef!

Koizumi was speechless about this... It was completely taking away someone's livelihood.

But he was also someone who ate, and eaters shouldn't be too fussy about those who cook, especially when the food was so good. There was no need to keep dwelling on it.

Silently, Koizumi sat on the ground, looking rather bored. Although it was late, he didn't plan on sleeping yet. He had been sleeping late anyway, so staying up a little later wouldn't hurt.

Before he knew it, a figure had appeared behind him.

As if sensing their presence, Koizumi quickly turned his gaze towards them – Serenity Hassan.

During training today, Hundred Personas had asked him many questions, such as who he was and what his purpose was, but Serenity hadn't asked anything at all, which made Koizumi even more puzzled.

Why was Serenity so silent, only watching him... Am I that handsome?

Okay, Koizumi was getting a little narcissistic...

Koizumi didn't directly answer Hundred Personas' questions, only explaining what he could. He didn't reveal anything about Chaldea.

He only explained that there was a problem with this Singularity and that they had been summoned to resolve this distortion.

Because it was clear that they didn't know why they had been summoned.

After arriving at Night Raid, Reimu had told him that this world had a Counter Force. To resolve distortions, the Counter Force would also summon Servants to take responsibility for resolving them. These neutral Servants were equivalent to his helpers.

Reimu was aware of this, after all, she was the administrator of Gensokyo and knew about the Counter Force.
